Job Description

Quality Improvement (QI) is the name of the team within BCC, but externally a more common name for the department is Quality Assurance. The reason for the difference is that BCC views the process for improvement as continuous and something to be strived for, not stagnant and achieved.

Lead by a dynamic and fun to work with QI Manager, the QI team has grown rapidly in the past six months from three to five positions! These are full time positions with benefits / not temporary. The Quality Improvement Associate role is one of three associates who have a similar job description to the one below. BCC's programs are divided between the three associates in terms of oversight responsibility. During the interview process we'll explain a bit more on what programs this QI Associate specifically works with.

If you are known as having great attention to detail and/or receive compliments that you are helpful, patient, and bring good energy to solving problems - you are in great company on this team (we work hard but also like to have a good time / laugh a lot) and we want to talk to you!

A note about the job's location:

The regulations and accreditation standards that apply to BCC's programs do change over time and this position supports the programs by ensuring their workflows and training materials get updated to reflect those changes. The position is a nice blend of traditional audit tasks mixed in with projects and training updates that require critical thinking and research skillsets. Some days will be behind a desk while others will be in front of a classroom.

Essential Functions:

Work with the QI department to code in and conduct surveys using the Survey Monkey platform that captures feedback from clients, families of clients, and other stakeholders.
